Love your videos man, you've got me into computer flipping and I absolutely love it.

[@CryptoJordanVR]

About a week ago I ordered an HP z420 with a Xeon E5 1603 and 16GB of ram in Quad Channel off of eBay for $52. I've been very pleased with that purchase. Thanks to some older Tech Yes City videos I knew that LGA 2011 had plenty of cheap options for upgrades so I had to jump on the chance when I found that whole system for so cheap. I put an R9 270 inside there and it's gaming like a champ. I think I'll upgrade to a E5-1620 V2 sometime in the near future.

[@fuzzyface4515]

With all the isolation going on, it's nice to live vicariously through your videos, it was already sketchy to begin with, here in the corn fields. Been really itching to build another budget PC, but it just doesn't seem the time. I'm resorting to cleaning my brother-in-laws PC on Wednesday just to tide me over. Also, my first i3 CPU was an i5-650 ;)

[@timpeng4418]

Xeon E3/Xeon E won’t take ECC Registered unfortunately. They’re just repurposed desktop chips.

[@techyescity]

Actually I think it might be the 16gb sticks or the motherboard, since support is only 32gb max, says on the intel website ecc is supported?

[@timpeng4418]

Tech YES City Maybe? I only know that those Xeons only take UDIMM ECC not RDIMM ECC (registered ECC). At least I have never gotten those chips to take RDIMM’s ever. Maybe try 2Rx8 config RDIMMs? Normal RDIMMs are 2Rx4 and only Broadwell or later have a chance to run them.

[@mclovin9210]

@@techyescity He's right though. These smaller Xeons can only handle UDIMM. RDIMM is reserved for socket 2011 Xeons and the likes. 8GB RDIMM won't work either.

That was a lot of fun putting back together. Also, still need to setup my older B350 mobo with FX6100 cpu and cooler, so i can test these cards. Then sell them off cheap.

They even had a similar one with the original 3 year warranty for 69. The drive I got formatted and tested out fine and all data had been reset so probably at least checked out, and repaired if needed. I use them to hold all my HDTV captures I edit down to smaller HEVC codec to save space.

[@greenprotag]

The e3 1270s are amazing processors. I have a 1271 v3 and it is amazing performance. I grabbed one off ebay for about $55 US and paired it with 16GB of ram and a 1070 and absolutely crushed at 1080p, some 1440p, and even 4k for the lighter titles and video playback. It made a banger HTPC. I may end up using it as a light media server processor.

Just because it says xeon does not mean the memory controller will handle reg memory, these are as noted exactly same as a 4770 so they really lack any REG support, only ECC is added (well, its in the silicon and just disabled for consumer chips).

Also what gpu(s) can be safely powered in that fashion. currently have an antec true power trio 650w psu powering an evga gtx 460 with a c2d e8400 which I hope to be changing in near future to a x79 + Xen e52-2650 v2 wtih 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM (thanks to you and Philcomputerlab) cpu + mobo + ram bundle to come from Aliexpress.

Heya Tech YES! In regards to today's question of the day, could you make a video about safe and unsafe ways to power GPUs? Like the 280X I wanted to power. I have two PSUs with enough wattage, but for one I'm missing cables, and the other is non-modular. This means that I only have 6pin connectors to work with. How could one power a 280X or similar 8+6pin GPU safely? What about other configurations? Could you talk about what are the big DONTS, but also what is fine, and how to make sure you won't start any fires? Thanks!

Definitely the Haswell's, PSU and 16GB Ram is best deal. Worst deal in my opinion is the RTX 2070 Super, it's a lovely card but just too high a price even in excellent condition. I got an Asus GTX 1080 (roughly comparable to an RTX 2060 Super) in great condition for $400 back in January just west 15 mins of Bristown. Something about the RTX series in general is overpriced, I can see Umart it's basically $1,000 so it makes sense that you'd want to pay $650 especially given the current economic climate to these items. With NVIDIA's delayed release now it doesn't look like it'll be dropping for awhile sadly.
